Earlier this month the House of Commons select committee on Science and Technology released a report calling for Universities to do more to retain women in scientific careers and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). It is clear that many of these fields are dominated by men, with varying problems in both the recruitment and retention of women.

Coinciding with International Women’s Day, we have invited 5 women who are at the top of their respective fields to talk about their experiences within STEM subjects, and answer your questions. This event will largely be led by you, the audience, so please come with questions in mind, we’re keen to hear your thoughts on the issues and give you the opportunity to engage as much as possible in this event.

Chair – Becky Montacute
President of the Manchester Debating Union and PhD Student in Immunology and Neuroscience.

We look forward to seeing and hearing from you all on Thursday!
